StumbleUpon has been around since 2001 and has around 8 million users. Here's a guide for all kind of users to get most out of StumbleUpon and drive tons of traffic to your site. 1. Toolbar: The first thing you'd want to do is create an account and install the StumbleUpon toolbar. It is available as a plugin for both Firefox and Internet Explorer. The toolbar has few buttons on it. To start with, the "Stumble" button. StumbleUpon has a unique feature of showing you a random site according to your preferences with just a click on "Stumble" button in the toolbar. This button helps you explore different websites in your niche. If you are someone like me looking for number of websites to promote your website, then the "Stumble" button surely helps you. The Thumbs up or Thumbs down buttons lets you add or remove the sites from your favorites list, as well as tells StumbleUpon to show you sites similar to the current one. The "Share" button is used to share the sites you find interesting with your friends. 2. Manage Your Interests: Log into your account and go to "Manage Interests" section. Select the categories you belong to. This is very important as it helps you get the best stumbling experience by displaying the sites that accurately fit into your niche or market. 3. Now, scan the buzz page for two topics, one you want to be known for, and a related area. If you want to be considered an Internet marketing expert you might pick business or Internet marketing. 4. Make Friends: Make friends with people who belong to both the groups. Start with about 10 people in each group. The more friends you have, the better. Make sure that they are active daily. Also StumbleUpon shows you good content if you have a large list of friends as it considers friends list as another metric of what it should show you. 5. Review and Rate: Use the "Rating system" to rate the pages of your friends. Leave your reviews on their pages. Tell them how much you enjoyed their site. 6. About once a week, introduce yourself and try to interact with people you have been following. After each week, drop the people who aren't responding.
Slide 2: 7. Finally using the "Share" function, let your friends know that you'd like their opinion on a post or topic you have worked really hard on that has a comment or two. Don't ask for a vote. Ask them to take a look at it and that any vote/review would be appreciated but not expected. As you're friends are the "most active and popular" people of StumbleUpon, your content can go viral and inturn bring tons of traffic to your site. Try to repeat all the above steps daily. It doesn't take more than 20 minutes. Another great way to drive thousands of traffic to your site is by using "Su.pr" and "StumbleUpon Tag Toplist" script. Su.pr: Su.pr is a url shortener where you can post your content to Twitter. The most important thing is that it exposes your content to almost 8 million StumbleUpon users. Once people click on your Su.pr url, those users who can see the webbased StumbleUpon toolbar can like, dislike, stumble your content. It will also help you determine the best time to post for more maximum traffic and exposure. You get detailed analytics showing how many people exactly clicked your Su.pr link. StumbleUpon Tag Toplist: This is a script that adds a button to each StumbleUpon profile which we let you see some advanced statistics about the tags including the list of the most-used tags. Tag your content with these tags to expose your content to a wider audience.
